And yet I've seen many people who like Android come perilously close to stepping over that line when it comes to Apple.
You know, like saying the iPhone is stuck in '07 because of the screen size only -- and acting as if exactly zero other changes have been made to the platform.
Like saying everyone who bought one was a victim of marketing, and not because they used that marvelous thing they call choice, which is what Android buyers apparently use to procure their technology fix.
So be it.

You are reading things into my statements that are not there. My points are that screen size wise Apple is still in 2007 (they have neither changed the size of the screen or reduced size of the bezel) and that others have moved on. I did not say that no other changes have been done by Apple since then, I have said that Apple is not the technology leader it claims to be. And most Apple buyers do not care that much about technology -- you are the prime example, you have always stated that you don't care about specs.
That doesn't make Apple users mindless sheep, it just means that they are not on the cutting edge of technology (but unfortunately often claim they are -- which is the annoying part). They care more about design and being part of an "in" group.
And I must say it again, I am not a mindless Android proponent, I feel Android tablets are not quite ready yet and I have a lot of gripes with Android on my phone. But I believe at this point in time Android for phones is the best OS on the market.
